    <p>I selected the materials for a suit, with the assistance of
        <abbr epub:type="z3998:name-title">Mr.</abbr> Trabb’s judgment, and re-entered the parlor to be measured. For although 
        <abbr epub:type="z3998:name-title">Mr.</abbr> Trabb had my measure already, and had previously been quite contented with it,
        he said apologetically that it “wouldn’t do under existing circumstances, sir⁠—wouldn’t do at all.”
        So, <abbr epub:type="z3998:name-title">Mr.</abbr> Trabb measured and calculated me in the parlor, as if I were an estate and 
        he the finest species of surveyor, and gave himself such a world of trouble that I felt that no
        suit of clothes could possibly remunerate him for his pains.

I was so far in my reflections when, as I have said, a side light began to
shine upon the subject from the laboratory table.

But Henchard was not left long in suspense. Lucetta was rather addicted to
scribbling, as had been shown by the torrent of letters after the <i>fiasco</i>
in their marriage arrangements, and hardly had Elizabeth gone away when another
note came to the Mayor’s house from High-Place Hall.
